You could try reinstalling xine-lib or rm -rf ~/.xine. Do you have vorbis-tools? Use ogg123 to test it via commandline.

I'm ashamed of my Xine. It gets poor marks in school, and is always hanging out with the wrong sort. No doubt it's their influence which is responsible for this most egregious breach of conduct. Still, with the proper guidance, I'm sure it can be coaxed into performing much more satisfactorily than it currently does.

I don't suppose you're as expert a counselor as you are a comedian, are you? Though they say laughter is the best medicine, I'm not sure it's quite the thing in this situation.

This is not a problem with the amaroK engine, as running Xine directly produces this:

There is no demuxer plugin available to handle '<file>'. Usually this means that the file format was not recognized.

I tried multiple ogg files from different sources, all of which played with both mplayer and xmms.
